  On May 24th, the 2023 Global Trade and Investment Promotion Summit was held in Beijing with the theme of "Strengthening Confidence, Win-Win Cooperation and Building an Open World Economy". Representatives of trade promotion agencies and business associations from more than 30 countries and regions, diplomatic envoys in China, representatives of relevant international organizations and economic institutions, and representatives of Chinese and foreign enterprises attended the meeting. Participants said that it is the aspiration of the people to build an open world economy, and open global trade benefits all countries.

  Economic decoupling brings extra burden.

  According to the estimation of the World Trade Organization (WTO), the total volume of international trade will only increase by 2.7% in 2022, which is significantly lower than that in 2021, and it is expected to slow down further in 2023, with an estimated growth rate of 1.7%.

  Rousseff, president of the New Development Bank, said that after World War II, the internationalization of trade, finance and information flow promoted the process of globalization. Since 2008, this process has been in crisis. Under the influence of geopolitical conflict and COVID-19 epidemic, global uncertainty and instability are more prominent.

  "Some countries pursue unilateralism and protectionism and try to adopt the so-called decoupling policy ‘ Contain ’ China, this practice is the main threat to the current globalization pattern. Unilaterally raising tariffs and blocking China’s semiconductor industry chain through the Chip and Science Act will only disrupt the global value chain and further aggravate globalization and division. " Rousseff said.

  "We should not forget that open global trade has benefited all countries and lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty." Klaus schwab, founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum, believes that any step towards decoupling the global economy will bring an extra burden to global economic development. Decoupling from global trade and investment flows will further raise the current "fever curve" of the world economy, which is characterized by high inflation, high debt and low growth.

  Klaus schwab said: "Only by working together to create a win-win situation can a new economic revival be realized. We have different interests, but we need global cooperation to turn crises into opportunities and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results. "

  Open cooperation breeds great opportunities.

  In response to climate change and technological innovation, under the global change, how can villagers on earth share the development dividend?

  "In the past 50 years, China has fully demonstrated how a country’s economic growth can promote common prosperity." Dominic barton, Chairman of Rio Tinto Group, said that the opening of China not only released a huge market, but also released the passion, intelligence and potential of more than 1.4 billion people. If this opening-up process is extended to "countries in the global south", covering more than 80% of the world’s population, it will not be a loss to the western world, but a huge opportunity.

  The field of green energy is a typical representative of future-oriented cooperation among countries. "Energy transformation will give birth to new businesses, new formats and new models such as comprehensive energy services and energy big data, which will vigorously promote the interconnection of energy infrastructure and promote the coordinated development of the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain. It is estimated that 2021— In 2050, the global investment in the energy sector reached 131 trillion US dollars, creating a broad market space for revitalizing trade and investment. " Xin Baoan, chairman of State Grid Corporation, said.

  Some multilateral platforms play an important role in the process of open cooperation. Jin Liqun, president of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, said that in 2022, the AIIB provided a record $2.4 billion in climate financing, accounting for 56% of the total financing. In 2021, the major multilateral development banks contributed $82 billion in climate financing as a whole system, of which more than 60% went to low-income and middle-income economies.

  "With the advent of the era of uncertainty, the performance of the multilateral system will determine whether mankind will achieve prosperity." Jin Liqun said that the long progress of human civilization clearly shows that we must turn to sustained global economic integration and multilateral cooperation.

  The more interconnected, the more common prosperity.

  "A key aspect of China’s contribution lies in its continuous promotion of building an open world economy" — — At the summit, many guests spoke highly of China’s pragmatic actions in opening up.

  "In recent decades, China has become an important participant in Latin American trade and investment. China’s growing demand for raw materials and agricultural products in this region has greatly promoted Latin American exports and created important income and economic opportunities." Bolivian President Arce said in a video address that this summit will help promote understanding among different countries, explore new investment and development opportunities and promote the construction of a more inclusive global market.

  "A healthy and balanced US-China economic and trade relationship is in the interest of both sides." U.s.-china business council President Craig Allen said. According to reports, in 2022, the bilateral trade volume of goods and services between the United States and China set a new record, and the export of goods from the United States to China reached a record high of more than 150 billion US dollars, an increase of over 20% over the past decade, from which enterprises and consumers of both countries benefited. According to US statistics, in 2022, US exports of goods to China will bring 1 million jobs to the United States.

  Craig Allen said that American enterprises have clearly received the signal that China will continue to optimize its business environment and attract foreign investment. History shows that the more interconnected, the greater the possibility of common prosperity. We look forward to continuing to cooperate with the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade in the future and promoting the healthy development of US-China economic and trade relations through constructive dialogue and contacts.

  At this summit, the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) reached a series of consensus with the business representatives attending the meeting, forming the Beijing Initiative of the 2023 Global Trade and Investment Promotion Summit. Ren Hongbin, president of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, said that the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade will build more platforms and provide better services, better help the industrial and commercial circles of all countries to seize market opportunities, investment opportunities and growth opportunities, and make new and greater contributions to promoting the construction of an open world economy.

Ten events that changed the direction of China’s ancient history: everything can affect the history of thousands of years.

In the winter of the thirty-seventh year of the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty (the first 210 years), Qin Shihuang was seriously ill while touring the plain and Tianjin, and expected that his life would soon be over. However, Qin Shihuang’s head was still clear, and he wrote an imperial edict to Fu Su: "Buried with the funeral in Xianyang". Qin Shihuang died soon, and the imperial edict was also seized by Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao immediately colluded with Reese to tamper with the imperial edict, gave Fu Su and Meng Tian capital punishment, and changed Hu Hai to Qin Ershi. This incident completely disrupted the development track of the Qin Dynasty. According to the normal development, Fu Su, the eldest son, succeeded to the throne. "Historical Records" states that "Fu Su was benevolent." If Fu Su comes to power, it will certainly adjust the harsh ruling environment of the Qin Dynasty, reconcile social contradictions and continue the rule of the Qin Dynasty.

In 2008, Cao Cao, King of Wei Wu, who had basically unified the north, led 200,000 troops to conquer Sun Quan and Liu Bei in the south, and the two sides were at Chibi Station. As a result, Cao Cao was defeated by 50,000 Sun and Liu armies, and the unification of China failed. Before Battle of Red Cliffs, Cao Cao had absolute strength to complete the reunification of China. However, after Battle of Red Cliffs’s failure, Sun Quan consolidated his position in Jiangdong, while Liu Bei took the opportunity to make progress in Yizhou, which continued the separatist strength. After the failure of this reunification, China once again realized the real great reunification, and it was not until the Sui Dynasty.

In 383, Fu Jian had unified the north, and it was only an Eastern Jin Dynasty away from the unification of China. At this time, the Eastern Jin Dynasty was poor and weak, but the north just had an economic war and the economy had yet to recover. However, Fu Jian was eager for reunification, so he mobilized 800,000 troops to March south, and was finally defeated by 80,000 troops in the Eastern Jin Dynasty on the Huaihe River. After that, Fu Jian was killed and the north was divided again. If Fu Jian consolidates the rule in the north and sends troops again, it can maintain the rule in the north, even if it cannot be unified.

In 471, Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty succeeded to the throne and began a large-scale sinicization reform, and moved the capital to Luoyang. This reform has made Xianbei people completely integrated into the Han nationality, creating conditions for the reunification of China. Without Emperor Xiaowen’s reform, the north will be ruled by the Hu people for a long time, and the Han regime can only settle in the southeast, even leading to the powerful rule of China by the Turks. Emperor Xiaowen’s reform has solved the crisis of "five random flowers" and enabled Chinese civilization to continue to exist and develop.

Emperor Yangdi was originally an excellent emperor, who made great contributions to the unification and territorial expansion of China. However, one thing that Emperor Yangdi did made all his efforts come to naught, that is, three levies of Korea. From 612 to 614, Emperor Yangdi made three expeditions to Koguryo, all of which ended in failure. It can be said that the army mobilized by the three expeditions to Korea was unprecedented, which basically consumed the national strength of the Sui Dynasty, so that the rebellion occurred and the princes became independent. Otherwise, the Sui Dynasty would have existed for quite a long time.

In 755, the thriftiness of the three northern towns caused An Lushan to launch a rebellion, and Shi Siming was involved in this incident, so it was called "An Shi Rebellion". The turmoil lasted until 763. The Anshi Rebellion destroyed the productive forces in the north of the Tang Dynasty, which led to the shift of China’s economic center of gravity to the south. In the process of suppressing the Anshi Rebellion, local envoys took the opportunity to establish a buffer region, and the Tang Dynasty fell into the era of the separatist regime of the buffer region and went into decline. In fact, the Anshi Rebellion should have been put down soon. The reason why it caused such great damage was that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty executed Gao Xianzhi and Geshuhan, the commanders of Tongguan, and changed the war pattern.

In 936, during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, the Khitan in the north had risen. In order to get the support of the Khitan, Shi Jingtang ceded sixteen states of Youyun to the Khitan. Subsequently, with the support of the Khitan, Shi Jingtang destroyed the Later Tang Dynasty, established the Later Jin regime, and called the Khitan "the son emperor". This incident had a far-reaching impact on China, and the Central Plains was completely exposed under the iron hoof of the Khitan, which was an important reason for the weakness of the Song Dynasty.

In 1259, Mongolian Khan Mongo led hundreds of thousands of troops to besiege the southwest military castle-Fishing City. In this battle, the Mongolian army could not attack for a long time, and Mongo was killed by an arrow, and Mongolia was forced to withdraw. After Mongo’s death, there was a war for the position of Khan in Mongolia, and the pace of Mongolia’s western expedition also stopped. Subsequently, Kublai Khan, who supported the Han culture, won the victory and established the Yuan Dynasty. And several great khanates in Mongolia have also split out. Therefore, the battle of Fishing City not only changed the history of China, but also changed the history of the world.

In 1398, Zhu Yuanzhang died, and his grandson Zhu Yunwen succeeded him as his Emperor. Emperor Jianwen advocated judo and benevolent governance, which could correct many disadvantages of Zhu Yuanzhang’s period. However, shortly after Zhu Yunwen came to power, the "Battle of Jing Nan" broke out because of the problem of reducing vassals. Zhu Di, the prince of Yan, replaced the rule of Emperor Jianwen and became Emperor Yongle, and moved his capital to Beijing. Emperor Yongle’s measures to govern the country are no different from Zhu Yuanzhang’s. His coming to power deepened the autocratic rule of the Ming Dynasty.

In 1644, Li Zicheng led the peasant army into Beijing and overthrew the rule of the Ming Dynasty. Subsequently, Li Zicheng failed to deal with the Wu Sangui issue. Then Wu Sangui used the "Chen Yuanyuan Incident" as an excuse to openly collude with the Manchu regime and lead the Qing soldiers into the customs. Under the joint strangulation of Wu Sangui and Dourgen, the "Dashun" regime in Li Zicheng soon fell, and the Qing army went south, conquered the north and south of the great river and established the Qing Dynasty.

Peninsula Sports Ligue 1: Manchester City is the best team in the world, and we don’t need to spend a wonderful season with him.

Even if Argentine World Cup champion Alexis Mike alister arrives from Brighton, Liverpool should still sign another midfielder. As a breakthrough prospect of La Liga season, Veiga has extraordinary physical and technical attributes, as well as versatility and industrialization. He also has an advantage on the offensive end, and his willingness to move into the restricted area is excellent-as shown by his < > goals in 32 La Liga games.

Although Vega’s influence may have diminished in recent weeks (not uncommon for a 20-year-old debut season), it is reported that he has a release clause of 400,000 euros, which will make him a real deal.
